"Aunt told me to go play games and said dad would pick me up in two hours."
The young boy said calmly, having experienced such situations not once or twice, he could quietly wait for his parents to come even if he was left here.
"Where’s your aunt?"
Flossie Wright narrowed her eyes, the so-called aunt was really careless, leaving a four or five-year-old child in the Arcade Center without any concern for potential danger.
"I don’t know." The little boy said thoughtfully, then quietly added, "She was in a hurry to get to work, she thought taking me along would be too dangerous."
The boy had a clear mind; compared to many of his peers, he certainly was more mature.
Although Flossie was curious how he grew up, she didn’t ask further because she knew it couldn’t be resolved in the short term.
However, Flossie wasn’t aware that when the boy was left at the mall, his aunt had forgotten to give him money out of her hurry. He only had a dollar on him at the time, and the ten game coins he had got came from his hard work. Feeling that he earned too slowly, he left the Arcade Center trying to find other ways, but unexpectedly encountered Flossie. Intuitively, he found Flossie impressive and half-consciously dragged her along.
Turns out, she was really impressive.
Young children naturally admire the strong, which was the main reason he stuck to her.
Back at the Arcade Center with the little boy, Flossie was about to find a place to sit and wait when they passed by the basketball game area. Another basketball rolled over with a thump, followed by the hurriedly chasing figure of Grady Wright.
She lightly moved her feet, directly blocking the oncoming basketball, but Grady didn’t notice her presence. Like an arrow that had lost its string, he charged headlong until he realized someone was in front, but it was too late to stop. With an emergency brake, he fell flat on the ground.
The boy next to him glanced at Grady a few times, then pulled Flossie away with some disdain, seeming not to want any more contact with people like him.
"Boo hoo..."
With no preparations, Grady hadn’t gotten up from the ground yet, and was lying there crying loudly, as if he had suffered a great grievance. His earth-shaking, ghost-crying wails practically tortured people’s eardrums.
Flossie patted his head and was just about to kick the basketball at her feet over to Grady and be done with it when two figures approached head-on. One of them quickened his pace, running worriedly to Grady’s side, and hurriedly helped him up.
It was Merry Otiz and her daughter Helen Wright.
Seeing this half-sister from the same father for the first time, Flossie couldn’t help but flash a smile at the sight of her anxious figure.
Helen Wright was a typical well-bred lady. Despite the "illegitimate" label, she was gentle by nature. Always polite to everyone, she spoke softly and had never raised her voice.
In front of her, she was dressed like a lady. Her face was filled with concern as she gently inquired about Grady’s condition and carefully dusted off his clothes. Her slow, gentle movements made others feel comfortable.
"Flossie, how could you push your brother like that?"
It didn’t take long for Merry to come over anxiously. Initially, her focus was on her son, but later it was taken up by Flossie. When she first saw Flossie, naturally, she was somewhat surprised, as she thought Flossie was still confined to the house and had no chance to come out.
